AVANT appoints Davies Implements Ltd

January 30, 2020/in News, Press Release/by Frances Dunton

AVANT appoints Davies Implements Ltd: AVANT UK will be partnering with Davies Implements Ltd to provide Full range of AVANT Loaders and Attachments to customers in South West Wales.

Established in the 1930s, Davies Implements Ltd is a family run company with its origins based on sales, service and repair of agricultural machinery, in the South West of Wales. Whilst continuing to serve the farming community, the experience gained over the years has enabled them to diversify into other product lines and industries including that of arboriculture, forestry, horticulture and hire. In tandem with diversification the company’s customer base has shifted to straddle both rural and urban communities as well as the public sector.

AVANT UK’S After Sales Manager Richard Jenkins commenting on the recent addition “I am enormously happy to have such a well-respected dealership such as Davies Implements Ltd joining the AVANT® family, with a vast amount of knowledge in a vast array of market sectors and a passion for customer service it makes for the perfect partnership. Its easy to see that the Davies Implements team has an infectious enthusiasm for the machinery industry, I can honestly say hand on heart that it is truly refreshing to meet people with the passion that this dealership emanates!”

Upbeat about their NEW Partnership with AVANT UK Heulwen Davies, Director Davies Implements Ltd commented that she greatly enjoyed an “Enormously inspiring visit to Finland.” And that “Seeing the construction of the product, the range of models and the wide range of attachments was invaluable to set us off on what we hope will be a long and successful relationship with the AVANT brand.”

Going for the buzz at Sawgrass

January 30, 2020/in News, Press Release/by Steve Mitchell

Going for the buzz at Sawgrass: Each year John Deere, in association with the British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of Ireland, sends seven association members to Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida to join the agronomy team on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass for the duration of The Players Championship – the unofficial fifth men’s Major tournament.

It’s an incredible experience, where the volunteers get completely immersed in the hosting of the PGA Tour’s flagship event with flights, accommodation and other costs all thrown in. Representing the British and Irish associations, the successful seven selected to join the John Deere TPC Sawgrass Volunteer Programme in March 2020, working alongside the home greenkeeping team as part of the volunteer course maintenance force of over 90, are:

BIGGA

South East: Ben Hunter, deputy course manager, The Richmond
South West & South Wales: Mark Tucker, head greenkeeper, Neath
Central England: Alex Brougham, deputy head greenkeeper, Trentham Park
Northern: Peter Lewis, greenkeeper, Royal Liverpool
Scotland: Eddie Irvine, deputy head greenkeeper, Trump International Aberdeen
International: Yannick Weber, assistant superintendent, Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand

GCSAI

Ireland: Dean O’Connell, greenkeeper, Grange Golf Club

Previous successful applicants of the scheme have described the experience as life changing and overwhelming. One of BIGGA’s 2019 delegates, Welshpool Golf Club course manager Jon Gamble, said: “TPC Sawgrass is an amazing venue and is out of this world. The presentation of the whole site is fabulous, from the condition of the course to the flowers and grandstands that sit very high on 17.

“They really do gear the tournament up so that everyone who goes has an awesome time, from a spectator point of view. Going to Sawgrass has made me want to go back every year now, just to get that buzz from what you experience. I would encourage and push anybody that wants to go there, to do so.”

This year’s tournament dates are March 12-15, 2020; the John Deere sponsored group flies out to the US on Friday March 6 and returns on Tuesday March 17.
